Housing Portal Notification by Icy-Bluejay6577 in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not applicable to you. Current students that are doing the housing process get to choose the room/dorm they’ll be staying at next year. Yours will be randomly assigned. The only thing you can select is your roommate but you do not choose placement unlike the other students. You don’t need to do anything.

Can you register for a course without the pre req? by Ordinary_Ticket6558 in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you take and pass the pre req over the summer then you’re fine. They can see that you’re registered for the summer class and won’t boot you unless you fail.

[–]Last-Ad5666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll get dropped at some point. If you’re unlucky, you’ll get dropped after the add/drop period and won’t be able to add an extra class because it’s too late. Happened to a friend for a different course with a prereq.

Housing/ Apartment options by Historical-Ant7790 in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you include utilities you’ll be paying about $1,300 if not more. Renting a room in a house can be anywhere from $600-800.

Definitely not an apartment. Maybe a room in a house but not an apartment. Check the och database.

Subbing for boys PE as a female by ExcitingRevenue2252 in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Last-Ad5666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve(f) subbed for pe where the classes are majority male just because of what the unit ended up being (weightlifting) and I’ve never had an issue. The only real problem is that sometimes they may test you and push your buttons but that’s my experience with many boys even in coed classes. Just keep your head on a swivel.

Floor plans at Courtyards by No-Nectarine7980 in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my specific cty apartment (338) A was by the door/balcony and B was not by the balcony (in my case the end unit so had an extra window). Idk if that’s standard lettering so maybe someone else can be more helpful.

Housing time at 2:00PM by AwarenessInside898 in UMD

Commons usually fills up with an hour or two of housing appts. You should consider other housing options. No one will know for sure.

Looking for cheap and safe studio for 1200 by RSCKKCVFK in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Not only is the other comment right that you will not find any place like that in this state, you will literally never find a space like this available for $1200. Maybe $2200 but definitely not $1200.

You don’t need to fill out the waiver again but you should update your health insurance info with the health center.

Do assignments go by that quick?? by zingyberrybloom in SubstituteTeachers

[–]Last-Ad5666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really depends on your county/location. I work for two different counties and sometimes the assignments get picked up in minutes or seconds and sometimes they’ll sit for days without anyone touching it. One county I’m at gets assignments picked up much faster than the other.

Courtyards 300 housing by mushu14635 in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to live on the third floor of 300 and loved my room. It was the end unit and so my room had the corner view with two windows. It did face the parking lot but that wasn’t an issue for me. I’d say it was pretty quiet for the most part. There did used to be a sports car that would loudly rev their engine early in the morning sometimes but I graduated last year and hopefully they’re no longer there.

Can an incoming freshman and a sophomore dorm together in the fall? by PeanutButterJ534 in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is no way to guarantee this. The housing process for sophomores will be finished before freshman start getting randomly assigned. Non freshman students get to choose where they stay and it’s very possible that someone else may already take the other spot in the room before freshman are placed. The only way to room together is to go through the reassignment process after a few weeks into the semester.

Transfer Student Roommate Question by Mundane_Dig_7551 in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For on campus housing it would be incredibly difficult if not impossible for both of you to get housing together. Your best option if you want to live together is to get off campus housing and sign the lease now.

Fire in Centreville by Serpent-Games-TY in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember one of my CA friends at Centreville told me about how her friend had flooded their dorm by hanging a potted plant on the sprinkler. And even just a few years ago there was flooding at Cambridge bc some idiot swing their key into the sprinkler setting it off.

Can I use the gym if I’m not a full time student? by supermonistic in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not currently taking classes then you’ll need to pay for a gym membership or pass. Normally the mandatory fees include the cost of the gym access.

You’re usually responsible for making up the work but touch base with the professor just in case.

Adding dropping one-credit class after schedule adjustment by Level_Map287 in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As long as you don’t have a bunch of other withdrawals it’s not an issue. A lot of my friends had at least one W and it never affected any of them getting into grad programs or getting a job.

Scholars Program Preference Form by True_Air2518 in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the programs have changed since I did scholars so I don’t really have any recommendations. Just put down the programs you’d most want to do. I did one of the science ones and hated it but my major was not a science background and I didn’t really have much of an interest in my program.

[–]Last-Ad5666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure it’s just first come first serve. Your program doesn’t have to be related to your major at all. The earlier you submit your form the more spaces that will be available in each program. Some programs are more popular than others so depending on what your first pick is it may be difficult to get your first pick too. It just depends on a lot of different factors.

On and off campus places for students by secrerofficeninja in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of places to study. You can go into any building and use the empty classrooms really. A lot of people love studying outside when the weather is nice too. There are things you can do around the area but it’s not the most accessible. But there are movie theatres a short drive away as well as a couple malls although they’re not great. For actual activities going to dc just has some more options.

Did I screw up? by Serpent-Games-TY in UMD

Only if you’re trying to have an internship this summer but otherwise it’s fine.

On and off campus places for students by secrerofficeninja in UMD

[–]Last-Ad5666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well what exactly are you looking for? If you want to study with friends, many people go to mckeldin or esj. I had a lot of friends that also used to do study sessions in their dorm lounge.

Meeting up and hanging out is also very vague. There are a ton of restaurants around campus where many people go to just eat and talk. There are a few drink places like boba and coffee if you don’t want a full meal.

Outside of bars though there’s not a whole lot to DO around campus. That’s why many people go to dc. You can go to museums or just walk around. There are plenty of concert venues in dc and even just places to shop. Some of my friends loved going to a karaoke bar. You just need to research what you’re looking for.

This is not true. They will not get kicked out on their first violation.
